DIRECTIONS >>>>> From 880 fwy in Oakland – take the Hegenberger exit & drive (West) towards the Oakland airport about 1 mile. Then take a right on Doolittle Drive & go about 1 mile, then make a right ‘immediately before’ the “MLK Shoreline Park/Shoreline Center sign” & drive into the park. We will be to your right once you drive into the parking lot & listen for the (((boom boom))). Parking is free! : ) FYI you must pass Swan Way, we are not at the Arrowhead Marsh Side of the park.
>>>> PARKING >>>> You can also park in the boat launch parking lot as well, if our lot fills up. This is the other entrance closest to us (next to this one). We are on the lawn halfway between two lots. If both lots are full, you may park on the road (Doolittle Drive) but make sure your car is completely off the street/asphalt & not in the bike lane at all, or you will be ticketed.
Burning Man 2008 & 2009 pictures link here. YES!!!!!!!! It is that time of year again. If you have ever gone then you are as stoked as me about the upcoming Love Evolution. It will be the best event you have attended all year(except for Burning Man of course). This is the largest out door free electronic festival in Northern California and not to be missed.
